hi all

i have a Belkin High Speed Mode Wireless Router and two PCs and some cable....

have i gone "over the top" with that router....cause all i wanna do is network the PCs together in the same room....so that both PCs can access each others hard drives and share internet....

can someone point me in the right direction to allow me to do this....

cheers

Should be straightforward enough dude.

Have you got both PCs connected to the router via Ethernet?

Both running XP?

thanks mate....

the pcs are connected as follows....

one pc is connected to a modem the other is connected to this pc via an ethernet card....

which is rubbish as when pc one is off you cant access the internet via pc two....

have you got msn so you can run it by me or is easy enough on here....

cheers

Connect both of them to the router and you're more or less done.

It might be worth changing the wireless frequency. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are the most separate (shock horror).

Are you okay now dude? An extra Belkin patch cable should sort you right out!
